[Guest guest]

When other countries start doing their own unbiased studies, maybe the truth will come out. Looks like we got one...

Dear Friends,

This new Swedish study indicates that women with breast implants are more likely to commit suicide or die from lung cancer. Those two findings are similar to the NCI study by Louise Brinton. However, the women in this study had implants for a shorter period of time. Although the average was 11 years, some only had implants for a few months. This is a very young group; the average age is 31 and the youngest implant patient in the study is only 15.
